Description

The tricolour is a specific type of triband. In a triband, the design is of three vertical, horizontal, or diagonal stripes, often formed—from a heraldic point of view—by the placement of a vertical or horizontal stripe (a pale or a fess, respectively), over a background. The triband may thus have two stripes of the same colour split by a stripe of a second colour (examples of this include the flags of Argentina, Austria, Barbados, Belize, Cambodia, Canada, Colorado, El Salvador, French Polynesia, Georgia (U.S. state), Guatemala, Honduras, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norfolk Island, Peru, and Spain).
